This color is referred to as a "warm" gray, even though gray is technically on the cooler side of the color wheel. Greige is essentially a combination of gray and beige tones and is a neutral hue that will add interest to any home while allowing you to decorate with a variety of warm and cool colors. Whether your style is eclectic and attention-getting or subdued and minimalist, there are several greige paint colors that will make any room in your home stand out.

Benefits of Warm Gray
Your bedroom should be the place where you can relax at the end of a long day. It should also be relaxing and tranquil so you can get a good night's sleep each night. While your bedding, aromatherapy, and even the right music choices can make the bedroom your personal oasis, you'll also want to select the right paint color. Gray Marble is a wonderful color for the bedroom. There are hints of brown and purple in the paint, so you can choose a color scheme for the room that includes a variety of warm and cool tones. Metallic tones like platinum or silver look elegant and sophisticated in a room painted with Gray Marble, so keep this in mind when choosing a bed frame, dresser, or reading area. If you prefer warmer metallic tones, gold or bronze accents will bring the look of the room together as well.
